The process of copying a gene's DNA sequence into a sequence of RNA is called:
Where does transcription occur?
Which RNA carries the message from the DNA molecule out of the nucleus?
During transcription, a specific of the DNA is copied into mRNA. The section of DNA copied depends on which protein the cell needs to make at that time.
What is the name of the enzyme that helps transcribe DNA to RNA?
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of into . Before transcription can take place, the DNA helix must unwind near the gene that is getting transcribed. The region of opened-up DNA is called a transcription bubble. Transcription uses of the two exposed DNA strands as a template; this strand is called the template strand. In the newly made RNA, there are no 'T' nucleotides because it uses nucleotides.
Using a DNA template, RNA polymerase builds a new RNA molecule through base pairing. For instance, if there is a G in the DNA template, RNA polymerase will add a C to the new, growing RNA strand.
